It's one thing to go for experience, it's another to have to book parking bays for zimmer frames.

Oi. you leave my parking bay alone.

Justing Hoyte would be a bit of a coup, woud be very happy with him turning up.

I guess it depends on the money being made available to secure them.

.......and Kev's a bit annoyed..........

They have; don't expect a signing(s) to materialise in the first 24 hours after the go ahead has been given. It takes a little while and I know of three 'on the stove' as you make your post ~ maybe today, maybe tomorrow; maybe not if they fall through but good signings and ones that are worth the time and effort, cost and research take a little time to materialise.

Remember, Keiffer Moore coming in required financing which was authorised but after all the work it fell through at the last minute and this is so indicative of what management is all about.

I understood, correct me if I am wrong, that Nicho had been told he could use the Blissett money to strengthen the squad.

I feel your pain and most of what you say is correct. We need to unite to fight GI not Nicholson who is every bit as passionate about the club as any of us. Give him the means and he will achieve. This situation isn't his fault. No he's not immune from criticism but he's proved he can do the job on relatively little. Nobody could do it with what he has.

I appreciate that Nicholson is trying to do the job with both hands tied behind his back but he didn't have to sign Harrad and play him as a loan striker did he?

Harrad did ok last time because he was playing in a far better team. Harrad isn't better than what we have already (and that's saying something).

He has signed Jordan Lee (who he admitted that he had never seen play) and then dropped him after one game. McClunky - never got a game. What a about the loan signing from Plymouth, who sunk without the trace?

Lathrope - Another useless signing.

Appreciate we have no money but presumably Harrad is being paid - its a complete waste of money.

Appreciate he comments about GI - perhaps the answer is for no one at all to turn up and then GI can have their wishes granted. Either way the outcome is going to be the same because we are as good as relegated already.

This is the worst Torquay team there has ever been.

I can vouch for that. He was never with the club.

Nobody could do any better though, you know how limited our resources have been. He's having to do everything on his own and now he even has to put up with a **** who just wants to take his job. Madness.

And I never doubt your support, just your ability to accept the obvious.

It would be hard to do much worse....we've won 3 of the last 18 games we've played.

So you're saying Harrop is the answer then? You say GI might not, what possible reason do you have to think they will have the right answers? What have they done so far to convince you? There were people interested in buying, the fact they didn't rests with Dave Phillips who is now sunning himself halfway around the world.

Let's say they use some money to pay Nicholson off, can you see them spending what is needed to bolster the playing squad? Wake up, they really don't care. The apathy towards the club is what they want to make things easier for themselves. It's what they do, they do it well as history has shown. He (Nicholson) knows better than anyone where the squad is lacking, it wouldn't take much to get enough quality in to rise the table to safety, will a new manager be able to come in assess it and also be allowed to spend what it takes? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. Sorry about the caps.
